They have such coats, and trowsers, and waistcoats, and boots, "always looking," says Kurz Pacha, "as if they came into a large fortune last evening, and were anxious to advertise the fact this morning." Even the boys in the streets turn to look at them. Mr. Boosey always buys the pattern shirts, and woollen morning dresses, and fancy coats, that hang in the shop windows.
The man's real name was plain Charles Bird; but Abraham Boosey had christened him Muggins and Muggins he remained. Muggins had had some beer and was asleep, for the afternoon was hot and he had anticipated his "fours."
Gauche Boosey, who was on the floor in the saloon, said he saw Mr. P. crawl up softly and try his state-room door. But it was locked, "and the snoring of old De Famille, who was enjoying his required rest," said he, "came in regular broadsides through the blinds." I don't know how Mr. De Famille explained. I only know Mrs. P. charged old Pot. to be satisfied with anything.
Firkin, slowly; "but the truth is, it's a little awkward. These ladies are kind enough to receive us; but to ask favors of them, is, you see, different." "Oh! yes," interrupted Mr. Boosey; "to ask favors of them is a very different thing," and his eyes really glistened. "These are ladies, you see, dear Mrs. Potiphar," said Kurz Pacha, "who don't grant favors." "But still," continued Mr.
Boosey was liberal in the matter of beer that day and the effect of each successive can that was taken up the stairs of the old tower was immediately apparent to every one within hearing, that is to say as far as five miles around. The estate was out of Chancery at last. For forty years, ever since the death of the old squire, no one had rightfully called the Hall his own.
Gnu, "what is a good woman's average?" "Does any lady here know that?" inquired the Pacha, looking round. "No," said Mr. Boosey; "we must send and inquire of Miss Tattle." "How pleasantly the game goes on, dear Mrs. Gnu," said the Pacha; "but Miss Minerva ought to be here, she always holds such a good hand at every game." "I think," said Mrs.
Mr. Boosey looked puzzled; but Mr. Potiphar broke in: "Well, Mrs. Gnu, I'm glad to see you smile at last. After all, the remark of the Ambassador's was only what they would call in France, 'a perfect bougie of a joke." "Good evening, Mrs. Potiphar," cried the Sennaar Minister, rising suddenly, and running toward the door.
Another book of sight-singing exercises which follows the same sequence is the Rational Sight Reader, by Everett, published by Boosey. Inexperienced teachers sometimes teach this as a dogma, and thereby deprive the children of the delight of discovering it for themselves. This fact is sometimes overlooked, and unnecessary difficulties are created for the children.
Poor French gentlemen! how they must be annoyed to see foreigners carrying off not only all the gloves, but all the smiles, of the beautiful Maries. It is really pleasant to see Gauche Boosey and D'Orsay Firkin promenade on the Boulevards. They are more superbly dressed than anybody else.
"Oh! we'll take care of all the arrangements," said Mr. Boosey, nodding toward Mr. Croesus and Mr. Firkin. "Mr. Boosey, were you presented to the Emperor?" inquired Kurz Pacha. "Certainly I was," replied he; "I have a great respect for Louis Napoleon.
